FOSTERING CROSS-CULTURAL AND CROSS-RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE
In the following section, the key concepts of cross-religious and cross-cultural interaction are presented. Not only does it examine the fundamental ideas of culture, religion, and intercultural competency, but it also examines the historical and theoretical frameworks that define the interactions between each of them. In order to promote inclusiveness and effective communication in various kinds of environments, learners will build a solid foundation of concepts about the subject matter.
Define the foundational concepts of culture, religion, and intercultural competence.
● Acknowledge the historical contexts of migration, cultural exchange, globalization,
and cultural syncretism in shaping cultural and religious diversity.
● Distinguish between high-context and low-context communication styles and their
impact on intercultural interactions.
● Compare monochronic and polychronic time orientations and their implications for
cultural dynamics.
● Utilize Bennett’s DMIS framework to assess and enhance cultural sensitivity in
diverse contexts.
● Apply UNESCO’s principles of equality, reciprocity, inclusivity, and peacebuilding to
foster mutual respect and effective cross-cultural dialogue.
● Promote essential skills such as active listening, empathetic communication, and
self-awareness to improve intercultural and interfaith collaboration.
